In Chapter 40, Poem 12 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker complains of the wretchedness and madness caused by love, describing themselves as a madman breaking their chains. The poem centers on a direct plea to the beloved for mutual affection, asking them to 'give your heart' and share in the condition of the 'heart-burned' lover. This illustrates the tension in mystical or romantic poetry between the lover's intense suffering and their enduring hope for intimacy and union.
